Mrs Cochran said she had no memory of it, but added that it was typical of her husband.

In the space of 82 seconds Masood knocked down Mr Cochran, Leslie Rhodes, 75, Aysha Frade, 44, and Andreea Cristea, 31, before stabbing Pc Keith Palmer to death at the gates to the Palace of Westminster.

The Old Bailey has heard he was going on average 31mph on the bridge, targeting pedestrians on the pavement before crashing the Hyundai Tucson into railings.

The rampage ended when he was shot dead by a plainclothes officer who had rushed to the scene.

Investigators who trawled through thousands of hours of CCTV footage have concluded he acted alone, the inquest heard.

Eyewitness Kylie Smith, a teacher who was accompanying a group of teenage schoolchildren on a trip to London that day, said Masood had deliberately targeted Mr Cochran as he stood by a souvenir stand on the bridge.
